Coarse straws in mixed colors, combine
tons Of dark blue and fawn color, or red
and blue, or green and amber, are very
fashionable fer young ladies. Sailor bats
still continue popular, heightened, when

bows of ribbon set just in the center of

have square crowns and faring brims.i
When it is becoming, where the hat lies
just back of the ears, one may have u

IyDIaN SURGERY.

One of the pupils in the Indian Indus
trial school at Carlisle, Pa, says in letter
to friends at home: "Gov. Beaver had one
leg lost in the battle of Gettysburg, the
time was civil war between southern and
union states. and Gov. Beaver got shot in
his leg. You know white people like to
cut off whenever they get hurt about a
bone, SO Gov. Beaver cut off his leg. But
the Indians never do that, they always do
some other way to make we'll. I know a
man broke his arm, and the doctor had fiat
sticks about two feet long, some strings to
tie with when he put some medicine, put
one stick the other side arm and one stick
the other side, tie up with strings SO the
man got well without cutting of his arm.
But the white people always cut it off,

The late Prof. Diman OF Brown uni
versity was tnken 10 church one Sunday
afternoon, when only a years old, and put
in seat near the door for conveniences
sake. But the little fellow, spying the rest
of the children in the family pew, started
alone to join them.
Just then the minister announced the
text in loud voice. 1t was a peculiar
text, "The word that came to jeremiah
from the Lord, saying, stand IN the gate of
the Lords house and proclaim there the
Lord"
The little boy did not understand any
part of the text except the name Jeremiah.
That was his name, and, thinking the
minister was calling him, he answered by
goi up the aisle and mounting the public
stairs.
Then, not a little puzzled because the
minister did not speak to him again, he
turned round and faced the congregation.

1T wls NOT TIE GUNS FAULT

One day last week a young son of Ed
ward Love, living near Quincy, came up
to the house and told him there was II fine
buck in pine thicket near his house. Mr.
Love took his old true. and tried muzzle-
loader and proceeded to put in u lurge
charge of powder and shot, loading only
one barrel. He then went to the thicket
and sent q little negro boy in to run out
the deer. He did not have long to wait,
for soon out sprang a fine buck and doe
within about thirty PAGES of where he
stood. Up went the gun and snap was
the result and away went The deer. He
was very much provoked, of course, and
was loud in his abuse at Mr.. Yilks for
putting in poor gun-tube. His son, not
being satisfied, went and examined the gun
few days afterward and found the powder
in the right-hand barrel and the shot and
cap in the left-han barrel. Mr.. Love has
taken back all he said about the gun tube.

IN ELI STORY.

A Kensington gentleman asserts that he
owns an eel twenty-five inches long and
weighing over half q pound, which was
taken from q water supply pipe in his
house. This is horrible. 1t is likewise
true. It is true with vation-an ex-
plana ion. The eel in diminutive form
flowed forth with the water through sup
ply pipe. The Kensington native put the
beast in bucket of water. 1t was then an

was then placed where the sun would Iall

portions mentioned. The Kensington gen.

A SAFETY SADDLE.

An English military officer has made
some radical changes in the construction of
saddle which are highly spoken of. The
"tree" is so altered as to allow the open
space to be webbed, making a yielding
seat, 50 that the fall ng of the rider is not
likely to occur any more on his saddle
than ON an Office stool. 1t is in the hang
ing of the irrur, however, that the great
est Improvement consists. Instead of
han ing at the end of one vertical strap,
the safety saddle slirrup is suspended by
two straps-one from the cantle and one
from the ponmei. The rigidity of this
suspension, compared 10 the swinging
motion of the ordinary stirup- hanging,
only needs trial to make the rider ex-
claim, "Why was this not thought of be-
fore?"
With this double suspension the open
front of the stirrup alwa 6 to the for
ward thrust of the ho semans foot-a SER

horse after dark when mounting, the right
foot having always to kick at the dangling

foot into it.

Z" EXCELSIOR."

A correspondent of the Critic who
says that in 1910 he was editor of q
monthly magazine published in New
York, to which Longfellow had agreed
to furnish occasional short poems at
the rate of $l4 each, thus tells the
story of how Excelsior" thus fur
nished, impressed the publisher:
Gone morning as entered the office
in William street the publisher hailed
me from his desk, near the door, with !:
I-l-look here, H; s-s-see what q
confounded piece of nonsense Long
fellow has sent me! Je-ie-je-iust listen
to this. Then he proceeded to read
the first stanza Of the poem, his indigna-
ton and his ott-recurring stutter uniting
in display of elocution the like of
which, we may safely presume, the
lyric has never since been the subject
OF. But it was on the word excelsior,
of the meaning of which he had not the
slightest conception, that he vented the
full volume of his wrath. Pronouncing
it 'ez-shell-shor! he uttered it with an
expression of whitening contempt
There he said q omit the stuttering.
did you ever hear anything equal to
that? Now, just listen to another
versep Then he read the second stanza
as he had done the first, and, passion
ately folding the manuscript, said: 4
wonder if Longfellow thinks he can
gouge $14 out of me for such piece
Of internal trash as that? I'm not
such fool, I can tell him, and I'll send
it back and give him piece of my
mind. '"-Ne,o Yorh; Commercial-Ad-

DRUM MAKING.

OF total of 100000 drums made in
this country last year, it is said that
17S,000 were manufactured in Gran
vile, Mass. The old-fashioned drum
with wooden barrel, which was formerly
the only kind in the market, is being
rapidly supplanted by the neater and
lighter model with tin barrel. For
the manufacture of the latter, tin of
various colors is employed, blue and
red predominating, though the larger
quantity Of tin drums are made of a
brass imitation. This tin comes in
sheets of two sizes, IA and 20 inches
and 20 by %, the sheets being packed
in cases holding 112. The process of
manufacture is thus described by the
Springfield Republican,: The sheets
are first sent to a knife, which cuts them
into various lengths, from which drums
of sizes varying from 81 inches across
the head to 13 inches are made. This
done, the strips are each punched with
hole, then secured and tightened to-
gether. Hoops are placed on the inside
rims, and the barrel is then ready to
receive the sounding skin. This is
generally sheepskin, which is
stretched tightly across the head above
and below, and fastened from the. out
side by hoops. These skins are all i'm
ported from Liverpool, and cost from
$1.70 to $3.50 dozen. Previous to
using, they are stretched and dried by
steam in the winter and by the sun in
summer Before being stretched over
the drum barrels, they are once more
moistened, generally in solution of
pure water or slightly ammoniacal.
Then remains the tightening of the
drum hoops This is done either by
strings or rods. The first are stretched
diagonally, leather tighteners being in
serted to stiffen the sound skins. The
rods are hooked on one end and screwed
at the other. OF this latter kind, the
consumption is over six times that of
the older fashioned.
Wooden drums differ but slightly
from the above. The barrels are gen
orally bass or white wood, occasionally
oak. The stay hoops are of oak or
beach. Before the strip of wood can be
used, it needs to undergo many pro-
cesses, among Others being bending,
planning, and sweating. The first drums
made used to be boiled in open tanks,
and the limit that could thus be pre-
pared daily was less than fifty. The
introduction of machinery and more
perfect methods has increased the daily
production, so that 1000 drum pieces
is considered nothing more than one
mans fair days work. The log, usually
cut to three feet in length, is placed be-
tween the teeth of huge machine, and
the slicing begins. The knife receives
it, and, as the log revolves, the piece
sliced is received on wooden cylinder
and then rolled up. Seventy-iive thick
nesses make one inch of the log. If
then the log is three feet through, one
revolution will yield n piece nine feet
long, and the total length sliced from
the log would extend oyera mile. Gut
ting machines further reduce this huge
sheet to the desired lengths A core
of six inches thickness is left, which is
taien out of the jaws and split into
drnmsticks or tenpins. The veneers
are heated, ihen bent, and are soon
really to be shaped as drum. There

Courtesy to fellow-passengers at sea
is imperative. Nevertheless, it is most
unwise to form intimacies with ship
acquantances. Adventures of both
sexes abound on the ocean vessels, and
unfortunate indeed have been some of
the complications have known to arise
from an indiscreet disclosure of family
affairs to these persons. Respecting
the tlirtations which are so prevalent on
shipboard, wish I could "meet the
eye" of every decent girl who is about
to traverse The ocean, and warn her, as
she. values her good name, to beware of
the many fascinating male foreigners
whom business or pleasure calls on
shipboard, and who are ever wont to
beguile the tedium of the trip by in

Irritation, intrigue, or whatever you
choose to call it, with any nice-looking
woman who will lend herself to their
wiles. / recently made the trip on a
vessel with a very respectable. family
from one of our large western cities, an
invalid mother, a grown daughter, and
some small children. A very handsome
young British officer going out to join
his regiment in Canada was among the
passengers, and the girls infatuation
for him was so marked as to be at first
ludicrous, then offensive to all the rest
Of the passengers on the vessel. With
difficulty she was prevented from ac-
cepting his invitation to join him in his
proposed trip to Niagara Falls. The
rurser of the ship, as honest o soul as
ever lived, took the matter in his own
hands, and never lost sight of the girl
until he had put her on board the far
west train and seen her start home with
her mother and small sisters and
brothers. Oiue Logan.

the County of Ayr, Scotland, accord
ing to recently published volume of

sermon after the communion. Year
after year, on the same day, he enter

Dor with the same sermon, the subject
being the parable of the "Ten Virgins. !"
One day an old clerical friend, who had
often heard the sermon, hit the

by saying, "Good sermon, Mr.. , but
your ten virgins must be getting pretty

THE MoRE NOISE THE BETTER,

There is a peculiarly about the pheas-
ant which probably does not apply to any
other bird or animal on the globe; AMI
that is the fact that no hunter was ever
able, under any conceivable circumstance,
to surprise one or get within gunshot of
him without being observed. The writer
has tried the exper ment frequently, but
never succeeded. The only way to get
near enough TO a pheasant to shoot him
is to make all the noise possible. In this
way the bird can be approached as nearly
as desired, Lut the moment the hunter
stops The bird has flown with such rapidity
that it seems to have been fred from a
howiizer. Indeed, instances are frequent
where they have flown with such velocity
as to dash themselves TO death against
trees in their rroute.-Baltimore American.

Paris small press which will enable
blind people not only to print the raised

characters on the same sheet of paper.
A system of writing for blind people
has, of course, already been invented
by Braille, but it only permitted them
to communicate with each other,
whereas the new mechanism enables
them to form letters which can be read
